What is Galileo? The European satellite radionavigation programme

Galileo will enable everyone equipped with a receiver, for example built into their mobile phone, to receive signals from several satellites and thus determine their exact position in time and space at any given moment.

How far is Galileo? The definition phase has already been completed.

Galileo is based on a constellation of 30 satellites placed in orbit and continuously covering the entire surface of the earth.

“In the same way that no one nowadays can ignore the time of day, in the future no

one will be able to do without knowing their

precise location.”

A major challenge.. Technological

Like other major European projects such as Airbus or Ariane, Galileo represents a technological revolution comparable to that sparked off by the mobile phone.

Economic Galileo heralds the development of a new generation of services: automated vehicle guidance systems to reduce traffic jams and cut the number of accidents, oil prospecting, conservation of the ecosystem, management of scarce resources such as water, financial transactions, and safety of persons and property.

PoliticalSatellite radionavigation will set off such a revolution that the European Union needs to have control of this technology vital to running the society of tomorrow.


Galileo/GPS: competing & complementing

The existing systems - GPS (American) and GLONASS (Russian system) - were both designed as military systems.

Galileo: a universal service • higher degree of precision than the GPS : around 1 to 5 m• more reliable than GPS : coverage more homogeneous• continuity of service guaranteed : 95 % of every urban area covered, instead of 50 % today, at any time without interruption

Galileo and GPS are complementary Coordinated use of both infrastructures offers greater precision and greater security. Users will receive both GPS and GALILEO signals on the same receiver.

Galileo is the only alternative to a monopoly for GPS


Galileo: the criticism is unfounded

Like GPS, Galileo will be free of charge to basic users.

GPS is free, but Galileo has to be paid for?

Galileo: the security conditions are satisfactory

An appropriate security framework is specifically required.All services provided by Galileo will be monitored by the authorities. U.S. concerns that Galileo could cause interference with the military GPS have been taken into consideration in the form of flexible solutions on use of the radiofrequency spectrum.

The GPS of the future could perhaps offer such services too, but there is no guarantee that they will be free, least of all if GPS holds a monopoly!

Some applications will have to be paid for - those requiring a

quality of service which GPS is unable to provide.


Unquestionably economically viable

Development and deployment costs are put at €3.4 billion.

It is not expensive

Highly economically viable

That is the price of 150 km of semi-urban motorway or of just one track of the main tunnel for the future high-speed rail link between Lyon and Turin.

Jobs created: > 100 000

Market created: €9 billion/year

Benefit/cost ratio: 4.6 over 20 years, taking air and sea transport alone. No other infrastructure project in Europe can match a ratio like that.

Society as a whole will benefit, not just investors in the programme. For example, improving air traffic control will save passengers time and airlines money and cut pollution by emissions from aircraft.


No need for contributions from national budgets

Development phase

(2002-2005)

Deployment phase

(2006-2007)

The €1.1 billion needed has already been set aside in the Community and the European Space Agency budgets (each will pay equal amounts).

Funding will be provided for in the next forward plan for the Union’s budget. Allowance will be made for a financial contribution from private-sector participants in the project.

Operation phase (starting

in 2008)

Public participation will gradually decrease until 2015 and will be covered by the Community budget. During this commercial phase this public funding will be offset by revenues to the operator ranging from value-added services to the exploitation of intellectual property rights on chipsets.


The development phase has finally been launched

• Commission to establish the Joint Undertaking in the coming weeks together with ESA• Private sector participation possible at a later stage

On 26 March, the Transport Council agreed on the Regulation governing the statutes of the Joint Undertaking...

• € 450m as Trans-European Network project with the Joint Undertaking as beneficiary (in addition to € 100m already released and € 550m ESA contribution)• annual payments from 2002 to 2005

…and on the release of the remaining € 450m to fund the development phase


The Joint undertaking

Role

Founder members: Community, European Space Agency

Members:

For the first time ever this form of company provided for under Article 171 of the Treaty is being set up. It will allow a single effective management body for Galileo combining public and private funding.

Seat: BrusselsSet up: 2002-2005Structure

•European Investment Bank•at a later stage, any business subscribing €5 million or more (€250,000 for SMEs)

An original solution

To supervise the development of the space and ground segments to be carried out by ESA.To foster the development of applications and services.To prepare the following phases of the programme.To ensure an optimum integration of EGNOS into GALILEO.


Private sector participation welcome

This is a business oriented programme. Private sector involvement ensures proper market approach and service-oriented infrastructure development.

The Joint undertaking provides the opportunity to enlist private sector support for the project

Conflicts of interest to be avoided

Private sector can become Member of the Joint Undertaking once the call for tenders with a view to selecting the future operator has been finalised (at the latest by end of 2003).

EGNOS is the first step to Galileo and part of the European Satellite Navigation Strategy. It will become operational in early 2004 and is partially funded by air traffic services providers.

EGNOS will pave the way and reduce the risks for GALILEO in different domains:

GALILEO for toll collection

Electronic Fee Collection Systems

for the future

Toll, be opened !



New charging policy under definition in the EC New requirements from the Member States and at

local level :

fight against traffic congestion better demand management internalize external costs

the result : new charges proportional to kilometers driven on primary road network are in the air



How to compute a charge proportional to the kms driven with no complicated equipment ?

GALILEO

allows to know on time where the vehicle is with an

accuracy better than 5 meters, 95% of the time



This is the basis of the GNSS / CN solution, first to be implemented in Germany, later on in UK (?) and some other countries :

will start with GSP then commutes to GALILEO mobile communications used to download payment data to the central billing system enforcement thru DSRC or IR



The advantages : no need for large infrastructures no need for expensive roadside equipment fits to all kind of zone : urban, motorway, countryside onboard equipment can be used for other services



Remaining questions : first real scale system implemented in Germany in

2003 for trucks enforcement of offences cross-border interoperability at European scale

(DSRC systems)


GALILEO for ITS

GALILEO can facilitate the development of other ITS services for the vehicle of tomorrow :

automatic emergency calls with location : possibility to know also the direction

of the vehicle road safety and ADAS systems freight and fleet management traffic surveillance route guidance
